ZZZZZ.....
Guys
Hope you read the directive by sun,
you are not, repeat not supposed to send attachments in the mailing list,
you could be kicked of the list for doing so,
if indeed you want to send it, you can send it to individuals/groups
specifically, but not to the list....
lets rest this issue shal we, sun is providing us with a facility,
lets use it, not abuse it, if you dont want any mail, just dont read
attachments.....
(pls read the fine print sent to you also....)
ZZZZ.....
Bye
